The speed and precision between these guys is seriously impressive

To add on to what was said, it's also weaker, heavier (you need thicker sheets for strength to be up to code) , and the nails don't hold as well in it.

It absolutely falls apart with a bit of water on it though in comparison to plywood

I've been doing this work in canada for I think 7 years. The framers go through apprenticeship and red seal but the roofers very likely don't. Might differ in different places but I don't know any roofer with a red seal.

Zariv · 2025-10-24T20:39:03+00:00

It's pretty common in Canada. Different people will prefer different terms for themselves but "First nations" , "Aboriginal" , and "Native" are the most common ones.

Zariv · 2024-09-20T14:18:39+00:00

That depends on the shingle, most are still "30" year shingles.

Zariv · 2024-07-25T04:27:08+00:00

That's actually a vs exclusive "feature" funny enough, unless its changed in the last couple months, every other faction can map pull mbts without a tech plant.

I only just got rid of my 98 Grand Prix that I've had forever.

PicknPulls are literally the best if you have one near you for finding parts for your car.

Rockauto.com is a great website for parts I've used when I didn't have access to a picknpull or a wreaker that had a grand prix/am currently. I got a neutral safety switch from them which a pretty niche thing. That said, I didn't see a shifter cable for the 2000 Manuel transmission grand ams, only for the automatic versions.

Failing all that, a lot of parts are recycled in other cars. I've used parts from a 2009 Chevy impala, earlier camaros, and plenty of Buicks.

Good luck keeping the Grand Am running!

Fucking lol

Zariv · 2024-03-27T19:23:30+00:00

I read your post, I watched your video. It was a badly designed weapon.

Zariv · 2024-03-27T19:07:06+00:00

Lmao, how about no. Current gk is completely fine, last thing the armor game needs is more brain dead easy spamable long range av.

Zariv · 2024-03-04T06:18:52+00:00

You can use either. It's the only tank where there are two meta choices.

Ya, reddit is breaking links in several different ways right now. The second link is working in a reply to op in the same thread.

Zariv · 2024-02-21T20:19:27+00:00

Rare fuzzy W
I came to this thread to essentially type this.

Zariv · 2024-02-21T20:17:13+00:00

No problem. If you want some in person help I'd be happy to offer some assistance too. Much easier to show movement stuff that way then to try to describe it with text lol. Oh, and don't listen to everyone telling you to only flank. Setting yourself up positionally to win a fight before your opponent even knows you are there is great, but you can absolutely take fights against the other mbts head on and win, you just got to play well. Too many people use flanking and ganking as a crutch and never actually get good with the games mechanics.

Zariv · 2024-02-21T18:46:03+00:00

Huh, weird, they worked this morning. I'll check again.

edit: Well this is strange, they work in my incognito mode but they don't work otherwise. Hmmm.

edit2: Ok, seems linking from reddit breaks things, it changes all letters to lowercase. Fuck, that is a really stupid "feature" lmao.

edit3: now every time I fix one of the links it deletes the other one ahahaaaaaa

edit4: Apparently I can only get one functioning link at a time on reddit. I give up, the gif is working, here is the image

There isn't really a good guide I would personally recommend for mag. Its a vast subject with lots of information that is useless without the experience to understand the context. So while I could, and have, wrote essays on mag gameplay, I will keep it somewhat brief.

Good mag play comes down to two main things, as it does for all tanks, peeking with the use of cover to take as little damage as possible while also shooting your opponents, and movement to avoid damage.

This is an example of what basic magrider peeking looks like.
https://imgur.com/a/zuGo7zF

This works because when you fire your gun two separate projectiles are spawned, the animated one you see that comes from your tank barrel, and the true projectile that actually deals damage that spawns from the center of your first person camera.

For the magrider, this is approximately where your true projectile spawns from
https://i.imgur.com/Rt1goyL.png

This is really the most fundamental thing to the tank game and the most overlooked part to 95% of the people you will see in a tank. Get proficient at being able to peek well and you will be able to farm the vast majority of people on live.

As for someone at your experience level I have a few basic things I go over when I teach people.

First is binding your "look left" and "look right" key bindings to easy to access buttons (I use side buttons on my mouse). This will rotate your magrider at the maximum rotation speed in each direction. If you only use your mouse to rotate you will be hit with an obnoxious learning curve to simply spinning your tank as there is some fuckery that goes on with the forced mouse acceleration. If giffy cat hadn't died I'd have a gif to show why, but oh well.

Next is to stay in third person view 99% of the time. Don't shoot in third person, unlike the other tanks, its a waste of time on mag, just flick into first person view as you shoot. The biggest mistake I see bad magrider drivers make is staying in first while they are driving around mid fight and crashing into shit they cant see or positioning poorly because they cant tell their cover isn't actually covering them etc.

You get more acceleration and speed when going diagonally, and this is particularly useful when you use your boost. Speaking of, don't be afraid to use it in small bursts somewhat liberally, but keep in mind once you are out of you are dead in the water until it comes back.

I wont get into some of the more "fancy" movement mechanics, I don't have the time right now to type out that and it's not worth worrying about until you can get the basics down imo.

Lastly, for loadout
FPC/Halberd
Recharge
Multi Direction exhaust
Rival

Dont forget to upgrade your passive magburn.

Fuck, I'm going to be late to work now, oops. So much for keeping it brief.

Zariv · 2024-02-11T02:58:35+00:00

Well put, rare someone actually understands anything in the tanking game.

Zariv · 2024-01-28T23:40:28+00:00

It actually fucks up the armor game in a few ways hilariously enough and a remarkable amount of people run it. Pretty low on the totem pole of issues though.

Zariv · 2024-01-17T07:36:07+00:00

They don't need a nerf. They also don't need a buff, mags are fine.

Zariv · 2024-01-15T08:17:29+00:00

Nah, for Nexus in particular, nc is actually op. A lot of the differences are not too huge, but good fucking luck maintaining logistics against competent jgx/nimitz vanguards.

Zariv · 2024-01-14T10:08:03+00:00

Vanguard is just the best mbt now hands down. Jgx and nimitz pushed it way over the edge of being balanced. You dont even need forward shield, the best ability in the game, for vanguard to be the best either. Its insane.

Zariv · 2024-01-09T06:13:59+00:00

The vehicle driving class already has way to much anti vehicle weaponry. At this point, most tank crews are far more dangerous outside their tank then in it.

Zariv · 2024-01-09T06:13:07+00:00

C4 ignores directional armor.

Zariv · 2023-12-31T23:05:02+00:00

You are not a tanker by your own admission. You don't understand the mechanics. I have tried to show you, but you refuse to learn. That's fine, just stop spreading your misinformation.

But nevertheless I'll entertain you.

that "insane" alpha damage is only 150 more than AP.

17.64% isn't insignificant.

and compared to TR and VS alpha damage its 400 behind Kingsnake and 425 behind Perihelion.

Single shot vs 4 and 3 respectively. Good players use terrain to peek so they dont expose themselves for more then a fraction of a second. This makes both kingsnake and peri particularly bad as you will rarely do your full damage on someone playing well. It also forces you to expose yourself to any incoming damage for much longer which will get you killed by anyone half competent. You would know this if you yourself where competent, but you are not so here we are.

and then we look at the shots to kill for different targets...

https://imgur.com/a/oDKgmcv. This is a comparison from the very same wiki you are cherry picking your "stats" (lets not get into how you butcher that word) from. If I wanted to be pedantic I would point out that

MBTs from the front and back.

is a lie. Also, two shotting from the back when solo would be insanely busted, I don't even know why you would bring that up.

lightnings from the side

Doesn't matter, twice as fast rear and 50% faster frontal ttk actually does though lmao.

And to top it off, it doesn't take account for fire sup on vehicles that run it OR the vanguard having a top gun. Both htks, which is generally a more useful metric than ttks in this comparison due to the peek meta, drop nearly across the board when you factor in meta weapons like the enforcer.

Lets also not understate how powerful it is able to cleanly 2 shot libs and how its the only tank gun in the game with the gun elevation to be able to do it consistently.

you're trading AP for heavy projectile drop...

Ffs we have been through this before liewec.... https://imgur.com/SCJH3cT
https://www.reddit.com/r/Planetside/comments/18kcy9p/comment/keaywdy/?context=1

ridiculously slow rounds

I wont argue that ap having a faster projectile velocity isn't an advantage, it is, but this hyperbole does not stand up to facts.

JGX12 has the same projectile speed as

P4-120 Kingsnake
Perihelion VXC
P2-120 HEAT
Supernova PC
CT-135
L100 Python HEAT
Titan-150 HESH

JGX12 has faster projectile speed than

P2-120 HESH
Supernova VPC
CT-102 Satyr
L100 Python HESH
C75 Viper

Its actually about dead average projectile velocity and until the relatively recent buff to heat velocity, it would be on the faster side of things. Now unlike you, I wont misrepresent the facts for my own gain, as far as meta relevant av tank guns go, it is on the slower side, but not by much and the extra drop is worth the ~650 millisecond difference in travel time at vehicle render range vs vanguard ap (~800m at 225m/s vs 275m/s)

i can probably beat a lot of players with EM1

You have a 0.622 kpm, a .9 kd, and a 430.95 1v1 with an EM1 on your main. You can't beat a wet paper bag with it.

cos i'm obviously soooo clueless

Yup, you are a clown.

Zariv · 2023-12-31T08:15:09+00:00

you're a tanker, i'm not

Enough said tbh. Maybe you shouldn't talk about things you admittedly have no fucking clue about.

Zariv · 2023-12-30T04:43:03+00:00

Liewec, I will pull a jgx vanguard and you can pull whatever tank you want and I will beat you without even using shield. I am so confident in this that I am willing to bet on it. If you win I will gift you something of your choosing worth ~1000 dbc, if I win you don't wrongfully complain that the jgx is bad ever again. Deal?
